ISeveral people have been stabbed at a shopping center in Sydney. This was announced by the Australian police. The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper said up to six people were killed. A baby is said to be among the victims. Videos from witnesses that were distributed online apparently show the suspect – a man in a sports outfit and with a knife in his right hand – walking through the shopping center.
A witness said the man appeared “scattered and disorganized,” according to Nine News. “He wasn’t targeting anyone personally, you could tell it looked pretty random, he was just running around with his knife.”
It is suspected that the police shot the suspect. The background was initially unclear. Australian media initially also reported that there may be a second perpetrator.
The attack occurred on Saturday in the Westfield Bondi Junction shopping center in the east of the Australian metropolis. The population should avoid the area.
More information coming soon.
